Re: UV Lamp sterilization? [Re: Mycologizt]

> UV does nothing but damage proteins.

UV sterilization works by damaging DNA. The T's (thymine) absorb UV radiation with a wavelength of 254nm. There are many DNA repair mechanisms, but a good dose of UV will overcome them.

UV is great for sterilizing surfaces or the air. It doesn't penetrate plastic or (non quartz) glass though, so it will only work if you can directly expose all the surfaces.
